Your Mom Was Wrong - Culinary Myths Dispelled

Lynne:
The type of salt used might make a difference.  I've had good results with a very coarse Kosher salt with beef tenderloin.  I'm not sure that a finely ground salt would work the same way.  It was my understanding that the salt is supposed to form a barrier to hold the juices in the meat so it wouldn't work if the salt is easily absorbed.
